Weekly Reno Gazette August 21, 1879
Fatal Accident
On the 13th inst., at the Hill Ranch, Carson Sink, a German by the name of W. S.
Lodgerwood, who was in the employ of John Traynor, as teamster, was unharnessing
his big mule teams when one of the animals kicked him so seriously in the
abdomen that he died of his injuries, surviving but thirty hours.  Dr.
Springstein was called, but medical skill could not give relief, the injuries
were of such character, being internal.  He was formerly from Indiana, and
leaves a mother and brothers, also a young lady to whom he was to be married in
a few days, to mourn his loss.  He was industrious and temperate, saving his
hard earnings to purchase a home which he had just bargained for in the village
of Wadsworth.  The young lady to whom he was engaged was to have been at Reno on
his return from the trip.  The case is a sad one, and the parents have the
sympathy of many friends.
